[絵本] 〔2〕 新編伊香保土産 7編中

松林伯円 編, 梅堂国政 画 · 1880 · 松延堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese illustrated picture book (ehon) published in 1880 by Shōendō, with text by Matsubayashi Hakuen and illustrations by Umedō Kunimasa, likely for popular readers. Its woodblock-style scenes show men in striped and checked kimono seated or standing among text columns, with bold black-and-white patterning a designer could draw on for strong graphic contrast and dense text-image layouts.
